I probably should have read the first volume to fully understand this Iron-man. Screw it. He's never been one of my favorite superheroes and I read enough Ultimates to get this is a very different Tony Stark. Except, this Tony is really different. He's very young, his limbs grow back (Why? I dunno), and he doesn't seem all that smart. It's very hard to get used to it at first and when him and Rhodes go on a mission together to stop mysterious "war weapons" it gets overlong and boring.

What I liked: I actually dig the character designs. I like how Iron-man is bulkier, just looks cooler to me. Also thought Tony had some funny lines...some.

What I didn't like: The overcomplicated plot. Especially coming from Scott Card who's done Ender's game which I LOVED. Also waaaaay too much banter from EVERY character and not all of them work. Also the creepy dude who likes to be touched and perverted was waaaaay to try hard. Oh and fuck the ending.

Yeah this is kind of a mess. The art is pretty awesome but the rest I could have left at home. This Tony doesn't even act like the one from Ultimates. A 2/5.
